really? i just figured prussian cavalry weren't that great.

of course, there needs to be some balance, just not so much that every faction is basically a clone of eachother.

other than prussian cavalry and brit melee, does anyone have any qualms about my list?


i think we can all agree that we want more historically accurate unit stats; i don't want to be able to go head-to-head using poland against france in a line inf. battle and have a chance of winning! if i use a certain faction, i want to be forced to adapt to its specific limitations and advantages.

poland and russia should be mostly about cavalry, and it should be made that way. i know that there has to obviously be at least several types of inf. for them still, but why not change stats? if i bring a russian line inf. unit versus a british line inf. unit, i should lose unless going into a melee. by a significant amount-not just by a couple men.

if anyone is interested in seeing some examples of varied units (not stats, but great units nonetheless) check out the AUM-Additional Units Mod- on TWC. its great

i believe that if we dropped and raised certain factions' stats for certain units by 8-25 points in the gun department, and 2-6 in the melee department, we can have a more realistic and dificult game.

as i said before; 18th century balance is already there; we just need to implement it.

i may or may not try this out on my AUM mod. i'm not sure exactly where the original units data is, so ill hae to do it tomorrow.

wish me luck!
